The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the the Third World

Topics: KGB, Mitrkohin, Mitrkohin Archive

Language: English

In 1992, Vasili Mitrokhin, a former KGB archivist, snuck out of Russia carrying with him a vast cache of transcriptions of top-secret KGB intelligence files. The FBI later described his trove of documents as “the most complete and extensive intelligence ever achieved from any source.” Renowned historian Christopher Andrew had exclusive access to both Mitrokhin and his archive. In 1999, they published the explosive bestseller The Sword and the Shield, which provided a complete account of KGB operations in Europe and America. In The World Was Going Our Way, Andrew now chronicles the KGB's extensive penetration of governments throughout the Third World-the battlefield on which the U.S.S.R. sought to achieve global supremacy. Andrew's definitive account fundamentally revises the history of the Cold War, and sheds new light on the state of the world today. The KGB worked tirelessly for decades to foster anti-Americanism in the developing world, making this book essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intractable hostility America faces in the ongoing war on terror.

Subject: Thanks and an application

First, I wanted to thank this free and relevant service, such as reading, the information that allows us to cultivate our ideas and grow our intellect.
Besides thanking, I would like to make a great request, and that is that the books can be seen with translation; This is because I started as a user of your page, but I have friends who have recommended this site, but do not read English.
It is very important to give multiculturalism, because that opens the world to minds that need to see other points of view, and other styles of authors.
Primero quería agradecer este servicio gratuito y de tanta relevancia como es la lectura, la información que permite cultivar nuestras ideas y hace crecer nuestro intelecto.
Además de agradecer, qusiera realizar una gran petición, y es que los libros puedan ser vistos con traducción; esto porque yo me inicié como usuaria de su página, pero tengo amigas a quien he recomenado este sitio, pero no leen inglés.
Es muy importante darle multiculturalidad, porque eso abre el mundo a mentes que necesitan ver otros puntos de vista, y otros estilos de autores.
